Corsa advert on TV - L'escargot
I can only assume that the current Corsa advert on TV is aimed at the large number of Corsa-driving boy racers, with a view to encouraging them to drive like loons. Still, I suppose that the more Corsas that are written off then the more new ones will be sold as replacements ~ perhaps there's method in the apparent madness of the advertising execs after all!

L'escargot by name, but not by nature.

Can't help wondering if they should be reported for false advertising though.

Everyone knows that if a real Corsa hit a lamp post like that, the car would come off worse, cracking open and spilling it's baked beans everywhere.

Nearly as daft as that VW advert for the Polo being wacked by a giant cat and not splitting in two..........

it depends how deep you look at the ads. I'm sure no-one would for one moment think you could negotiate a kitchen with a cat chasing you - nor play hide and seek with a whole host of other Vauxhalls. Are we to assume that it is safe to walk on hour hands across roads towards our C2? Or guide boats in with the main beam of the Focus headlights. The list is endless but they are only ads - I'm sure people take them with a pinch of salt - at least we'd like to think that.

we'd be better of if we had adverts like they do in the U.S.

i.e. informative about the actual car itself, specifications etc special offers, details on finance etc etc

corsa adverts and vauxhall in general have always been a nonsense. remember griff rhys jones?

sorry about spelling its about time there was a spell checker on backroom too... i had a poor education.. moan moan..rant rave,..,.,;;

The "giveaway" with the Cool Flame game on the website for the forthcoming BMW 1 series is a recipe sheet for mixing cocktails! Not too sure who their target market is - but associating drinking with cars doesn't seem to be too clever
